Whoa this *is* gettin a little nuts ..........i even got a message from state01 management asking what my intentions are with the set ....... i mean, we do it for the music ....we love it, and we record it to 're-experience' the night, once we've got it for ourselves, doesn't take much to provide it to TA's who attended the party. Why not ! We've never asked for anything in return nor will we ever. This set is meant for people who actually attended the party........the quality's the best we've got so far by a longshot, but still, if i didn't attend the party, i would not be interested in a sub-professional set. In the perfect world, sets would be released professionaly by management and there would be no need for this. Whatever happened to the wintergalactic set and video we were all promissed????? I know the video was on TV apparently, but who has satellite. I really hope these sets get released as some people are talking about ......then next time we prolly won't go to the trouble, cause it takes forever. I just hope it actually gets out this time.

props to orkidea/armin/sonic state for the awesome night again !!!

hey, you had a chance to see the video, just like the rest of us did, and the video kicked ass so dont bash sonic state if you had no intention of showing up for the presentation....

I don't think he was bashing Sonic State for the video presentation. I think the old-school values that they are trying to abide by, instead of embracing the current age may be the point of contention.

Basically, it'd be 30x better if they just flat out released the set themselves, and were done with it.

:P

ditto.

Yeah i had absolutely no intention on bashing Sonic State ...they throw amazing parties unlike anyone else, and i don't plan on missing any of their raves. I couldn't make it for the presentation cause of midterms, and like Nihilist said, i just wish it'd be a lot easier to get their livesets/vids. I was soooo looking forward to seeing that vid, and it totally sucks that just cause i couldn't make it for that presentation i can't see it. I think we were all looking forward to the MPEG we could download...maybe it'll be easier in the future, i hope

Anyone have an update on the live sets? are they going to be available or should I not hold my breath?

The plan is that they get out and about. They do exist, yes. But from what I gather, the machine that they were on crashed, and that's why they aren't out just yet.

But that's my gist. Somebody may know more...

And if you are that somebody, update us!

the work on our sets is definitely on pause awaiting the official release .....let's have it!!! )))

HAHA
i finished all the work on the two 70+ minute Orkeida tracks over the weekend from Sonic State 2001.

In my opinion they sound pretty good, I spent a decent amount of time fixing them up.
Avenjah should now have the entire Orkeida set that I edited, so we are moving forward from there. I am not in charge of distribution, so we are still working on that.

The AVB portion will be available in a few days, i'd imagine.
We are being careful about the distribution of these sets, because of the good points the Swamper brought up in page 1 of this thread...
we don't want to piss anyone off over this, and risk the big DJs saying "screw you guys."

ps: Pete Tong, Dave Seaman, Noel Sanger...and.....Tiesto were in Chicago over the weekend-- i got Tiesto's autograph and shook his hand twice, he told me thank you for coming out (his English is not that bad)-- i couldnt believe it, i was so happy.

As I said, I'd be happy to contribute some bandwidth. That, and I really want the damn sets!

;D
